Yorkshire Bylines"Nearly everyone agrees that our MPs are not up to scratch". Last week we brought together four speakers to debate the best way to improve the quality of our elected representatives. Would a joint manifesto be the answer? | Joshua Thory-Rao

John RobinsonI find the notion that Labour would vote against tactical voting because it might endanger them in the future sickening.

Adamas NemesisTired of voting and suffering in campaigns only to end up with a Congress of millionaires who don't represent you? Forget elections; the ancients show us a better and more democratic form of government: sortition and referendum.

The best people in our society can't stand the meat grinder of electoral politics, or, worse yet, are destroyed by it, and the problem is getting worse with time. Sortition solves this problem; ordinary people can govern without destroying their lives: https://www.adamasnemesis.com/2020/11/03/abolish-elections-for-sortition-and-direct-democracy/

To be clear, I vastly prefer sortition and direct democracy (e.g. citizens' initiatives) to any kind of election system, but if we must have elections why settle for anything less than pure proportional representation of the actual votes?

With STV you still elect individuals, not party lists, and since a majority in one local district have enough nationwide vote share to win a seat under nationwide PR they'd still be able to elect members of their choice, so what's not to like? Let's do it!

Today I learned H.G. Wells supported proportional representation, and agreed with me that single transferable vote in large districts (like the whole country) is the best version! His arguments for ranked-choice voting in 1918 are still relevant today.
